Never once in all the Michael Vick business has anybody discussed this important fact: this guy is one of the worst passers in the history of quarterbacks.

His completion rate is 53 percent, not good anywhere.

He is one of the greatest athletes in the NFL.

So?

You don't see the decathalon winner trying to start at quarterback for the Giants.

His throwing motion looks like he's trying to swat bees. Receivers assume looks of terror while wearing six sets of gloves to deaden the screaming darts. Defensive backs high-five their agents before a game with Vick.

He looks flashy when it doesn't matter and has done nothing in the playoffs.

Hey.

Sounds like a Dallas Cowboy.

Yep, Quincy Carter redux, but with some athleticism. Woof, Woof!

How would you feel if you were Donovan McNabb? This is the guy they think can replace you if you are injured or have a run of bad games?? A guy who was never a good QB and has missed 2 years since? What does that tell McNabb as far as how the team values him?

Better put Vick in the wildcat formation or line him up at WR...otherwise all you are left with is bad publicity and an emptier wallet.
